I've Got A Secret....

Well gang, I'm letting the cat out of the bag, literally & figuratively!!! The secret tweed hat project for the shop is DONE! I couldn't resist. I just had to do it. I had to make a tweed kitty hat. I struggled (for about 20 seconds) on whether to make it in a black, brown, natural, or other color that an actual cat might be. Then the super dreamie Rowan Yorkshire tweed aran in watery, grabbed me by the chi chis & it was a done deal right then & there! Lucky for me & my cat hat, Mae, another lovely AP employ, did her tweed hat in Donegal pumpkin tweed & had enough leftover for me to contrast the mice & ears. So what do you guys think? We put it in the window today & I gleefully listened while folks commented on how damned cute & adorable it is. And of course... I mean come on... it's a watery blue tweed cat hat, complete with dead mice!

Whit-somewhere out there, Dr. Suess is smiling in his grave! I love your little ditty more than I love the hat! thanks xoxoxerin-just for the record... the mice are not my own pattern creation. They are in the sn'b nation book. I would love to share some with my fellow kitty knitters, once I have the time to take a second from school! : )

is that YT a dream or what? i haven't tried the aran yet, but the 4-ply felts really well. and the colors are just beautiful. those little flecks of tweedy goodness...all the better to make dead rodents with.
